WOW that is one classy vintage piece. At 14 I think my dad gave me a Timex and then for graduation a Seiko. Both long gone. :?

That is one to hold onto for sure. Thanks for sharing. ;)

That's awesome! I would love to see a wrist shot, too. How does it play with today's larger standard?

Kudos to your Father!

That's amazing.  I can see myself never giving my son anything solid-gold when he's 14 ;).

I gave Jaeger Le-Coultre back to dad along with the Universal Tri-Compax and the IWC.  Those watches where part of his collection--I later started my collection with 1930's-1950's Lord Elgin,Walthams,Bulovas,Gruens and Hamiltons.  Which I later sold.
